for 12 years, chuck hagel had a very pro-israeli voting record. he is somebody that is very committed to peace in the middle east. he knows the region. he is strong on israel. on iran, he made that comments 12 years ago. all of us have 30 years of public record of votes. i think you have to look at the context of him being nominated right now. he is a republican. he is from nebraska. he is a war hero. >> sean: i love nebraska but that is not a qualification. [ laughter ] >> i meant he is a conservative. you should like him. >> he has a voting record that would like yours. >> sean: no, it would not look like mine. he says the israelis, the palestinians are caged like animals. his comments, he got burned badly by lindsay graham, looked foolish and same with ted cruz and john mccain. he is not equipped to answer a single question. >> look obviously he is being political right now. would you not agree, even israelis would agree that the condition of the palestinian people is not ideal. that is why they want a two state solution. there is real disagree

it was this really ham-handed fake effort to look like liberals were opposing chuck hagel, but nobody believed them and they stayed anonymous and never came out of the closet and said who they were. so no opposition on the democratic side of the aisle. no opposition on the left, except for the fake thing. and that means that the republicans would have to do something historically unprecedented and truly radical if they are going to stop chuck hagel's nomination. filibusters a cabinet nominee? unprecedented in modern times. now, they might try it. but it will be a huge deal if they did. a huge enough deal that it might even finally prompt the democrats to change the filibuster rules. so it's not likely. now, if you are looking for a high profile national security obama second term nominee who really might have some interesting opposition, who really might have some opposition from the democratic side, if not even from the left, it's not chuck hagel. obviously, it's not john kerry. the guy you are looking for is the one who is up this week. on thursday of this week, president obama's no

a senate committee scheduled to vote on the nomination of chuck hagel tomorrow. senator john mccain says, i will not participate in any walkout of tomorrow's committee vote, which i guess is what counts for statesmanship among republicans these days, but as to whether mr. mccain will support his one-time friend, well, that remains a bit of a mystery. >> we've still got some more information. >> are you going to support him for defense secretary? >> i will see the rest of the answers to his questions, but certainly i have very grave concerns. i think we need some more information. >> of course, senator lindsey graham brings up an excellent point, one i'm sure more republicans will soon be asking, why stop at chuck hagel? >> i don't think we should allow brennan to go forward for the cia directorship, hagel to be confirmed as secretary of defense until the white house gives us an accounting. yes, i'm going to ask my colleagues just like they did with john bolten, joe biden said no confirmation without information. no confirmation without information. >> right. i me
